These no-bake Cheesecake Cups are a quick and delicious dessert featuring a crunchy graham cracker crust and a creamy, fluffy cheesecake filling, topped with fresh fruit or berries. Perfect for individual servings, this recipe requires minimal prep and chilling time for a smooth, satisfying treat.

Ingredients

Crust

  • 3/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Cheesecake Filling

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • Pretty fresh fruit or berries, for serving

Instructions

  1. Make the crust: In a small bowl, combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter and powdered sugar until the mixture resembles wet sand.
  2. Pack the crust: Divide the crust mixture evenly among 4 cups and use the handle of a wooden spoon to lightly press it into the bottom of each cup to form a firm base.
  3. Prepare the cream cheese: In a small bowl, use an electric mixer on HIGH speed to beat the softened cream cheese until it becomes soft and creamy, about 30 seconds.
  4. Whip the cream: In another small bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream until soft peaks form. Then add the powdered sugar and vanilla extract and continue to beat until well combined.
  5. Combine cream cheese and whipped cream: Fold half of the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture by beating on medium speed until smooth. Repeat with the remaining whipped cream until fully incorporated.
  6. Assemble and chill: Divide the cheesecake filling evenly over the crust in each cup. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours to allow the cheesecake to set properly.
  7. Serve: Top each cheesecake cup with fresh fruit or berries just before serving for a colorful and refreshing finish.

Notes

  • Ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing and a smooth texture.
  • Use chilled heavy whipping cream for the best whipping results.
  • For added flavor, consider mixing a pinch of lemon zest into the cheesecake filling.
  • These cheesecake cups can be made up to 24 hours in advance and stored in the refrigerator, covered.
  • Use gluten-free graham crackers to make this recipe gluten-free if needed.
